Clearly if you thought Pelican was rad Now that is some boring ass music, even for that style. As for execution, they're damn solid musicians, don't see that.

I love Pelican, so to each his own.

I just find YOB's songwriting really goddamn boring. Maybe if the riff that was going on for 10 minutes was awesome I'd find it listenable, but it was a lot of just decent riffs being played for what felt like hours. Can't account for taste though I suppose.

Mike's a way down to earth guy and I didn't notice any "faux-Eastern" hand motions (as if you could distinguish between that and an "authentic Eastern zen", or how bout a Western zen hand motion, damn). YOB are one of the premier doom metal bands in my opinion, but I totally understand the ADD generation rejecting them. It ain't Sleep/Weedeater catchy groovy riff doom.

In my opinion, they were boring live, and the praise they got from the crowd was undeserved. Again, my opinion....and you and I weren't at the same show, so maybe he decided to do that stupid hand stuff only in Columbus.

I just remember watching a live anal cunt stream online and they said one song was about playing your band's demo on a box at the beach called "Playing My Band's Demo On A Box At The Beach" and that made me laugh really hard for some reason.

Bruised, hoarse, tired, sweaty, pained, and I had way more fun than you

At least in the case of Acrassicauda, yes. I wasn't expecting "teh most amayzin' set evar," but I definitely received one of the most lackluster performances of 2010 from them. I didn't see YOB, and by Scion accounts, am glad I made the right decision.

Scions worst show ever was Black Dahlia Murder.those guys suck.
Anal Cunt,pssh id pay 20 bucks for 20 minutes,thats how much i love em.
It Just Gets Worst is an amzing cd,plus u should also listen to Top 40 Hits

Yeah, and contrary to a few posts on this thread, that is NOT what all sludge and stoner metal sounds like. They just execute it poorly in my opinion.

I'll agree with you that there's quite a lot of sludge and stoner metal bands that don't sound anything like YOB. And in regards to bands that have long, repetitive songs, I'd probably go with Om as one of my top favorites.
